McArthur
  • Program and project development focus
  • Implement and drive change
  • Understanding of indigenous culture

Located within the Top End in the Northern Territory, the West Daly Regional Council region covers 14,000 square kilometres and has a population of more than 3000 throughout the communities of Wadeye (Port Keats), Peppimenarti (Peppi) and Nganmarriyanga (Palumpa).

Council is currently looking for an outcome-driven CEO to drive their vision of delivering quality services and supporting development opportunities for West Daly, and to implement a range of strategies that will help shape a prosperous future for the region and its people.

Located at Wadeye, your initial priority will be to get out and engage with all the region’s communities and outstations and start building the essential relationships that will provide the blueprint for your future success. Your broader objectives will be to develop, implement and manage all operational and strategic plans, provide a leadership and commercial focus for Council, and take a key role in the training and development of all elected members.

A strong cultural awareness, ideally gained while working in an indigenous or community-based setting, is essential, likewise a proven track record in securing funding/grants. Your management style is built on collaboration and consultation and makes you a natural mentor for both your teams and the wider West Daly community. Leading and inspiring from the front, you will have an uncompromised focus on ‘getting things done’ and the continuous identification and implementation of opportunities for growth, while your exceptional engagement skills allow you to quickly build confidence and trust.

This is a challenging and highly rewarding opportunity to implement change and growth within a culturally unique environment, while also experiencing the amazing lifestyle only the Top End can offer.
